You squeeze your dad's hand then look at us. You are ready. We hand you your bouquet then fluff your dress. You smell the fragrance of your bouquet one last time before you walk down the aisle. We cue your song. You hear the music, we open the doors. There he is. You catch your breath. You see him catch his. This is the moment you planned for. We can make sure it happens as planned.
